Actually pretty impressed with how clean the overall #Bitkey UX is.

I could see how this would be useful as a daily spending rig, sort of filling the same place as today's checking/credit card role. The key sits in your pocket, replacing your wallet for payments.

The daily spending threshold makes it easy to get your regular, low risk purchases in (lunch, coffee) without any friction. Above that, grab your key and auth via NFC. Very smooth.

Obviously, because biometrics are usernames and not passwords, this type of setup does NOT make sense for savings or retirement; only as a daily spending account.

Not wild about the app knowing your email, logging into your Google account, and integrating against Coinbase, but I understand what they are trying to accomplish there.

One day I'd like to see this type of UX reimplemented on Ark with user privacy/safety in mind.

Aye. the Google Drive feature is a pretty big roadblock for security and privacy.

That being said, it's not hard to imagine future versions loosening coupling there.
